When a girl nineteen years old in- gists on keeping even two tame rab- bits around the family country home, that family s in for trouble. A family cat can be “scat-ted;” a tamily dog can be hit with the broom- stick; a family goat can be brained with the ax and them argued with But what can be done with tame rab- bits? They are in the kitchen under the cook’s feet. They are to be found up- stairs under or on the beds. They | gnaw the tender bark from young| trees. Thelr presence attracts pass- | Ing dogs, and then there is a wild | akurry, and a sqQlealing. Those rabbits must be guakded and fed. They must be hunted up at sundown ! and cooped. When they get to fight- | ing among themselves at midnight and | wake up the family and cause the man | of the house to swear by the whis- kers of his father and the girl-owner to scream to them from her window —when the rabbit named Caesar fights with the rabbit named Tom, and | causes a succession of shrieks, no one can blame the man of the house from calling out to his daughter throuxh the darkness: “By thunder, young lady, this is the last night those varmints will raise a row around this house!” “They are not varmints!” comes the | reply. | “They are worse, and I'll wring their blamed necks the first thing In the morning!” i And the girl steals softly down stairs and tells Caesar that he must amend his conduct or be turned loose to shift for himself, and after a time the row is quieted, and the moon goes back to her job of sailing around the | earth. When morning comes there is no wringing of necks. It's a mean man that will twist a rabbit's head off. And so the incident is forgotten un- | til next time, and Miss Viola keeps | right on with the nuisance, and de- votes more time to those eight rabbits ’ than would make 16 young men very happy. There was a change on the way, however. Mlss Viola Rathbone got up one morning to discover that two of her rabbits had escaped. No, they had not escaped. They had been taken from the hutch by human hands and the door carefully closed again. h‘hu\ ran into the house to give the alarm and to add In a hysterfcal volce: “Father, I want that negro Sam ! arrested!” “For what? “Because he took the rabbits.” “Um!” “When he was working here he was alwaye telling how nice rabbit stew was."” “Did he leave his old hat behind to show that he was the thief?” “Of course not, but he got the rab- bits.” “Perhaps s0.” | “Perhaps it 18 #o, and I want you to | telephone the constable to come over here right away.” “I never mix up in rabbit cages.” “But 1 do,” and away she went to telephone and ordered the officer to appear forthwith He came and istened “Why do you think It was Sam?” he arked “Becauso he bits.” “But so do I.” “And he just loves rabbit soup.” “Ditto.” knew about the rab “But if you arrest him you can scare him Into confessing.” “But I can't arrest him He 18 working a hundred miles away.” “Then, if he didn't take the rabblts, who did?” demanded the indignant girl “Tramps, I guess.” “Yes, you guess, and that 18 to be the end of it!" “I guess it 18. Three tramps went Into camp down the road last night. | This morning I spled around a bit, and I found fur and bones.” “And you didn't make an arrest!” | “Can you swear that they were the | fur and honeg of your rabbits?” “Of course, I can!” | “All right, then. You go before the Justice of the peace and swear out a warrant and I'll overhaul the fellows b e n Mi Viola dldn't go She deetded that other creature had fur and hone besides he tice ould how er named Danforth. He had a som named Robert who had a place in m bank in the city, and usually came down to stay over Sunday. Old Dane forth, as he was usually referred to, was rich and eccentric. He was alsq domineering and stubborn. The fourth night of Miss Viola's watch was a Saturday night and the son did not get down until hours after the usual time. The father was grumpy over this, and about nine o'vlock in the evening diseovered that bis old dog was missing It waen't much of a dog, but his master went out and took a lopg hunt for him, and then came back to say to his son: “You sit here as if it was of no - terest to you whether that dog s Itw ing or dead!” “Why, father, nothing has happened to old Buck,” was the reply. “You don't know, you dont care!” “But [ do care, father. If the old dog isn’t home In an hour Il go out and look for htm.” At ten o'cloek the canmine had not returned. Mr. Danforth wes stewing lboutltumuchulfhohadkx!l horse, and he finally said: “Robert, you go down the road and Il go up. I shouldn’t wonder ff ‘Buck’ had gome up as far as Rath- bone's. That girl of theirs has got some skunks or coons or rabbits for bets, and he may have gone sniffing Miss Viola Rathbone and Mr. Rob- ert Danforth had never met socially. Accident might have brought about an introduction, but there had been no accident as yet. When the young “ man went out to look for the dog it was far from his mind that ' would be an accident that would af- i fect his futaure years. there When Miss Viola took her seat at the window at eleven o’clock she had slight hopes of firing a handful of birdshot over a tramp’s head and run- i ning him into the next county, but ' nothing beyond that. Old Danforth walked up the dusty highway, whistling and muttering, and halting now and then to say: “If 1 find the old dog up there I} boot him all the way home, and I'll 80 there tomorrow and tell that girt what | think of her! No girl has any business to keep pets around that wilt encourage a dog to run away from home. By hokey, this world 1s getting wuss and wuss all the time!" The rabbit hutch was in sight over the fence from the street. Mr. Danforth thought he saw his old dog spooking around, and he whis- tled. “Ah, it's a tramp's signal!” ex- clatmed Migs Viola as she started up. “Darn that dog, I'l go in there and 896 what's holding on to him!” mut- tered the owner. Step! Step! Step! The gun was softly poked out of the window No dog in sight, but the old man approached the huteh to see if he could make out what sort of pets were inside. In the window above the girl drew a long breath, hoped she might go to | heaven when she died, shut her eyee and pulled trigger Viola had never seen an old man— an eccentric man—an Irritable man rceelve a charge of birdshot while bending over a rabbit huteh or any other old huteh! He exclmimed! He roared! He galloped about in a circle and turned handsprings. Twenty soconds after the discharge of the gun Mr. Rathbone was in his daughter’'s room and demanding: “What in the name of Tophet have you been doing now!" “On, father, 1 have killod a tramp!™ “The devil you have! Let me seel” “He was after my rabbits wil they eloctrocute me for killing him?” “T don’t believe that’s a tramp. Pm going down to gee.” Three minuteg later he was bending over the victim and flashing the lNght of a lantern in his face. “Say,” he sald, as he turned to his daughter, who stood tearful and trem- bling. “Yon have shot old Danforth!™ “Oh-h-h-h!” “Yes, she has!” came from the bundle on the grass, “and shel BO ' to state prison for the rest of her Hfe!” Of course, he was taken in and pat to bed, and of course the doctor was ! callod It was Miss Viola herself who had | to ring up young Robert Danforth and announce “Hurry right over here! I have fust shot your father!” Has a shotgun and birdshot any- thing to do with falling in love? It certainly had in this case. By the time the old man could be moved home the young folks were in love, and stranger yet tha victim of the gun was glad of it Miss Viola will not keep rabbits after the wedding “Buck,” the lost dog, came home all right. He had just been over to Hek the constable’s dog.
